Files inaccessible locally

Outside of the closed Microsoft ecosystem on the iPad, there is no way to locally access documents saved to PDF (or rename them and other basic functions) using iOS Files app, or Acrobat Reader, or any non-MS app on the iPad. Deleting.

Great APP

Works most of the time

Last week or so it has been cropping off the bottom of my documents. I have to turn my phone sideways for it to work. Other than that it does the job.

Very good app- where is the web-version

This app is really great for keeping track of receipts. I love it. Small improvement would be to have the ability to select where the file output goes. Right now I have to manually sort into folders. Also nice would be a web version. I could use my camera on the PC or Mac to take images or run OCR.

4.5 stars - a MUST have app - almost perfect

I use this app regularly, 2 to 3 times a week. It's usually great at making pictorial copies of documents, and I like this app so much, I recommend it to all my friends as a MUST have utility app. Why four stars instead of five? Well, sometimes the border detection is a little bit twitchy - but this is mostly the case when the source doc cannot be made perfectly flat, or is not a perfect rectangular shape, or the color contrast between the doc to photographed, and the background is too low. Where the app will also sometimes have problems is when the page in question has graphic horizontal lines draw on the doc question. Usually if one can throw some additional lighting on source doc, this takes care of it, but one can't always do that. Some improvements I would like to see: – the ability to manually "help" the automated red outline box that outlines the doc - add a "lock" feature where the outline is locked in place (meaning auto sizing and auto positioning turn off, and the outline stays in place as is), and then allow user to manually adjust the size and shape of red outline - before the pic is take. - as if you were cropping pic area beforehand. Why is this needed? See the comment about taking pics of documented with embedded horizontal lines, or try to take a complete single picture of an open notebook. - Renaming! So yes, I have saved a bunch of multipage documents to PDF's on my phone with the Office Lens app, but the file names are "date + time + office lens" -- not very useful when trying to find the particular PDF of internet later on. Bottom line-- this app is so useful, I would be more than happy to pay $5-10 for an upgraded version that has these, and maybe a few other additional features (that other users want).

Almost perfect

Can we get iPhone X and iCloud Drive support?

No longer saves to OneDrive automatically.

The OneDrive (personal account) functionality was broken in one of the latest updates. It’s now required to enter OneDrive account credentials to save/view files. Please fix, before abandoning yet another consumer product. Since I’m now having to essentially sign into OneDrive every time, I’ve stopped using Office Lens and use the scan function in the OneDrive app.
